Tales of the Truth
We wrap up a few things in Hima and head off to the Tower of Salvation. Kratos leaves first with Colette so we get to pick between 3 people to raise friendships.. In order to distribute the Friendships (need to raise Zelos up), I choose Raine because the others are super easy to increase. Anyways, we enter the Tower and we learn a lot of things about the plot of this game.. Cruxis is the angel organization and controls the Martel Church as well as the Desians. The Martel Church is their front to control the world, while the desians do their dirty work, which is controlled by the Five Cardinals (we already took out a few during our ranch destruction spree). Remiel is not Colette’s father and wanted to control Colette in order to betray Cruxis and to take it over. However, we learn about his plot too late and Colette turns into a robot (in a sense)

 
Beat the Angel! Wait, and another.. and another?!
So, boss battle time! We take out Remiel quite easily and he dies. However, we learn that Kratos is actually one of the 4 Seraphims that lead Cruxis. Beating this second battle is optional, but I still managed to take him even though it was the closest battle I had in this run.. Kratos likes to combo Light Spear into Fierce Demon Fang and that combo hurts a lot when you don’t guard properly. He casts Grave and Thunderblade so that was terrible when he teleported in front of my healers and we were all caught in one spell. After he is down, we meet Yggdrasil, who is the grand leader of the Cruxis and one of the 4 Seraphims like Kratos. We battle him and get crushed like normal. It’s impossible to win this battle, so there is no point in doing much especially when your attacks do 1 damage. He pulls out a fancy sword and uses it’s magic to hurt Lloyd real good. As he is about to deal the final blow to your party, the Renegades under Botta come and save you.

 
To Tethe’alla!
We learn about what is happening from Yuan and Botta but decide that we do not want to side with them so we run away! We steal rheairds (flying planes) and teleport to the second world, Tethe’alla! They run out of fuel so we crash land on Fooji Mountains. We then head to the Kingdom Capital of Meltokio and meet Zelos, Tethe’alla’s chosen. He’s really lame and is Kratos’ replacement but I don’t like him. In order to save Colette, we give up on the Sylvarant generation so Zelos joins us to keep tabs.

Off to Sybak to learn how to save Colette!

Recap:
We learn a lot about the two worlds Sylvarant and Tethe’alla and learn about Cruxis, the organization that controls the worlds.

Duration: ~ 1 hour

Favourite Song: Beat the Angel

Zelos is a Kratos Replacement so his moves are basically the same as Kratos

I also finally beat Red Light Green Light from that Katz to gain a title for Genis. This game is extremely hard and I still lost multiple times even when using an exploit to beat it :/
